..I'll never lay a wand on Snivelly again... By: Nocommonsense
James Potter sat with his best friends Remus Lupin and Sirius Black on the grounds of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They had just finished their charms O.W.L.and were enjoying the break from school-work. Their side-kick Peter Pettigrew sat next to them watching Sirius make a rock chase after Lucius Malfoy. Remus was reading a book about Werewolf's in the 20th century. James, occupied himself by turning several pages of Remus' book whenever he looked up. Finally, Remus got so exasperated with James that he slammed the book closed and was about to put a Body-Binding curse on him when Sirius looked up with an odd smile on his face. James followed his gaze over the courtyard to where a greasy boy with long black hair was creeping across the yard with a nasty expression on his face.
"All right Snivellus?" James said, loud enough so that Snape could hear him.
As soon as Snape heard James voice his hands plunged into his robes and pulled out his wand. James casually shouted EXPELLIARMUS and Snapes wand was in his possession...this would be fun.
Minutes later Snape was laying on the ground, struggling against invisable cords with pink bubbles coming out of his mouth. The crowd that had gathered around them was watching to see what James did next when a girl with thick, red hair and bright green eyes burst through the crowd, breathing hard. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!", she shouted. James spun around with obvious shock. When he saw the girl standing behind him his face went pale. "Evans!", his voice had changed to something more polite and mature, one he reserved for very special girls. "LEAVE HIM ALONE POTTER", dislike etched all over her face.
"I will if you go out with me Evans, go on, go out with me and I'll never lay a wand on old Snivelly again", his voice cool and calm.
Evans answer was far from what James wanted to hear. Something along the lines of "she'd rather go out with the giant squid". She glared at him one last time before storming away. James was left with nothing but Snape and his anger.
The next morning, James sat across from Lily so he could appologize. She avoided his eye the entire time so finally, with the prodding of Remus he attempted a sorry. "Listen, Evans...I'm sorry abotu yesterday", he stuttered.
"Why don't you try appologizing to Snape..he's the one who deserves it", she replied calmly.
"WHAT?!", James shouted. "Say sorry to that greasy bag of slime?"
If looks could kill, James Potter would have been a very dead man at that moment.
That very evening James found himself in front of the Slytherin table stuttering an appology to Snape while Lily watched with an eagle eye. After he had finished he turned his back on a very amused table and stumbled over, quite red in the face to Lily. "Are you happy now?", he spluttered at a very happy Lily. He swore he would get her back one day.
